I don't think the author of this would accept this as a fact. There could be things that intellectually we can generally agree are bad that humans might be genetically predisposed to being ok with (e.g. I don't think it would be e

I think the point is that it is going to be worse than just laggy UI, it's going to be very painful if you try to use that computer for developing using UE4. Which isn't to discourage people, there is a lot you can do with that ki

I worked there in 2011 and I'm pretty sure not everything was on AWS at that time. I don't know how to square that with the tweet: my own understanding could be wrong, or it could be a misleading stat like 100% of public traffic h

You then bikeshed what should go in the configuration file, which is almost as bad. And gofmt is generally less bound to the style than, say, PEP8 since everyone could trivially mechanically update their source to the new standard.

Whether or not giving up a password or unlock code is protected by the 5th amendment is itself a gray area that the courts are still sorting out. I would prefer to have the password NOT be protected by the 5th amendment and have strong encr

It is still strictly worse for the repeat riders if they get a card valued at 10.41 than 7.91. The only reason for the city to even allow someone to do it is to underhandedly get more money when someone inevitably loses their metro card.
